Edit: thanks est! this meme gives me a valid roman search term for youku.

  Having also learned in passing about various historical soaps and that phone mounted ring lighting is a thing, so far the funniest "areyouok" to me has been the one chock full of inscrutable foreigners wearing their culture's traditional outfits to perform folkloric rituals that ethnographers say date back to the Warring Ranchers period: https://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzE4NTMyNjkyNA==.html https://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzE4NTMyNjkyNA==.html (I hope those CBP arena ads are PSAs, not paid placement.) Seemingly all but syntactically unrelated: https://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzcxNjAwNDgyNA==.html https://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzcxNjAwNDgyNA==.html

Funny how four letters can take one in so many tangential directions. For some of us old farts, it's also a memorable KMFDM song from 1999: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEC1qpfLY1E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEC1qpfLY1E

  I was going to mention this song too. I'm glad to see someone (ultra heavy) beat me to it!
